You might think this is new, but the Powerball drawing for Saturday, March 7, 2026, has come and gone. The numbers were drawn, and they are 17-18-30-50-68 with a Power Play 3x.
No one hit the jackpot that night. The last time someone won big was on March 2, 2026, when an Arkansas winner scooped $251 million. The Powerball jackpot for this drawing is estimated at $35 million in cash options or $16.2 million if taken as a lump sum.
The Big Picture
Powerball has seen some massive jackpots over the years, with the top 10 largest wins going back to 1992. The highest was a whopping $2.04 billion in November 2022, followed closely by another $1.817 billion win in Arkansas on December 24, 2025.
The odds of winning the jackpot are a staggering 1 in 292.2 million. But if you do manage to hit it big, you’ll have to fork over some serious taxes—potentially tens of millions more than your initial win.
Buying and Watching
In New York, you can buy tickets until 10 p.m., in Connecticut until 10 p.m., and in New Jersey until 9:45 p.m. on the night of the draw. The drawing itself is broadcast live at 11 p.m. ET, so be sure to tune in if you’re hoping for a lucky number.
Each ticket costs just $2, making it one of the cheapest ways to dream big.
